ironically, ‘stretch’ isn’t stretched so i’m not sure what i want to do with it. i also find it funny that, without realizing (i did it for the color contrast), i lay the painting down on my exercise mat. this is as far as i went with my stretches this afternoon

cardinal rule: stretch before exercising and scribble before painting

and soon a face emerges

i love oil pastels

cannot. resist. must. instagram.

i’ll stretch yours if you stretch mine
